One family's journal of life's little adventures

9 Months

Nine months is such a strange point to be at. I have known you outside, in the world and in my arms as long as I grew you inside my body.

You are gaining momentum in life. You almost have one full tooth. You are crawling at top speeds and cuddling in the middle of the night. You are talking that sweet baby gibberish and laughing belly-laughs. You fight sleep and you fight against separation from mama.

You chase your brother and reach for his toys. You crawl up to the dog and reach for her tale. You are fiery and brave.

From living in a church in Tijuana, to college campuses in Chile. From urban at-risk youth in Minneapolis, to Alzheimer's patients in a nursing home. From walking alongside women with eating disorders to staying at home with my kids.
My life has been one continuous adventure in loving and discovering more of God and humanity. An adventure full of mishaps and mistakes.
In this season, my main teachers and co-adventures are my husband and two children. And this is where I write. Welcome.
